Roast Salmon and Cucumber Dill Sauce
This is an easy-to-make recipe that pairs beautifully with the Viansa 2012 Sonoma Valley Miglior Vino Bianco or other white blend.
Ingredients
- whole salmon, about 2-1/2 to 3 lbs
arugula, basil or parsley for garnish
Cucumber Dill Sauce - (makes about 2 1/2 cups)
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- salt, to taste
- 1/2 cup light sour cream
- 1/3 cup low-fat yogurt
- 1 tsp chopped fresh dill or 1/4 tsp dried dill weed
- 2 Tbsp chopped Italian parsley
Preheat the oven to 450°.
Place the salmon in a roasting pan lined with a heavy sheet of foil. Measure the height of the salmon, and bake for 10 minutes per inch of height, or until it flakes. Let cool for two minutes then peel off the skin on both sides. If desired, cover and chill. Serve on a platter garnished with arugula, basil, or parsley, accompanied by the sauce.
For the Cucumber Dill Sauce:
Peel, halve, seed, and dice cucumber and place in a strainer. Add vinegar, sprinkle with salt, toss, and let stand for 20 minutes to remove the moisture. Mix together sour cream, yogurt, dill, parsley, and salt to taste. Stir in the cucumbers. Cover and chill.

My son bought me a one month membership as a gift and after trying the wines, decided to try the Premier Membership. Every three months we receive 2 bottles of white wine from a small winery. We haven’t been disappointed in any of the wines we have been sent. This way we can still visit our local wineries and not get overstocked. I love reading the Uncorked magazine that comes with it to see what else was offered in the other memberships. I also like reading about the winemakers themselves. I have had so much fun discovering new wines and wineries. Thanks for everything.
